Let Them Stop VDM From Fighting Corruption - Figar Boy

The comment suggesting that “Dem need hold the person wey Dey give this guy info” regarding VDM’s efforts to expose corruption in the EFCC reflects a troubling attitude toward whistleblowers and the fight against corruption. Instead of applauding VDM for shedding light on the wrongdoings within a critical institution, the commenter implies that the source of his information should be silenced. This mentality discourages transparency and accountability, both of which are essential in combating corruption and ensuring that public institutions serve the people honestly.

Such a statement shifts focus from addressing the root issue — corruption — to attacking the very tools used to expose it. If the person providing VDM with vital information is silenced, it only strengthens corrupt systems and discourages those who seek justice from speaking out. Rather than shutting down the flow of information, we should support and protect those who bring the truth to light, ensuring that systems remain accountable to the public they are meant to serve.
